What is Employee Well-being and How Can it Strengthen Your Business?

Employer-based health care used to be about offering employees and their families basic medical coverage at an affordable cost. Today, a health benefits plan has evolved to address not only employees’ physical health, but also their mental, financial, spiritual and social health.

Led by Cindy Bjorkquist, Director of Well-being at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, and Laura Byars, Vice President of Human Performance, “From Wellness to Well-being – Trends in supporting employee health and happiness,” explores what well-being is, how it benefits employees’ comprehensive health, and how Blue Cross supports employers to focus on this concept.

With stress causing more than 30 percent of U.S. employees to miss up to 20 days from work, it’s important that employers view the commitment to well-being as a contribution to the future of their employees and business alike.
